Camp Olson YMCA - Youth and Family Camps

Camp Olson YMCA has been serving youth and families from Minnesota and beyond for over 50 years. Camp Olson is an inspiring place with over 1250 acres bordering five lakes. The spirit of Camp Olson is always alive in the songs we sing, the evenings spent around campfires on star filled nights and the sound of laughter that abounds every day. Camp Olson prides itself on having an excellent caring and committed staff with an overall ratio of one staff member for every four campers. Camp Olson has a variety of traditional camp programs for youth ages 8-17 and specializes in sailing, horseback riding and leadership programs. Camp Olson is located in Longville, MN and chartered coach transportation is available for each session with pick up and drop off at the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport making it easy for your camper to get to camp. Camp Olson YMCA is accredited by the American Camping Association and is staffed with registered nurses 24 hours a day. Scholarships are available.

Camp Ihduhapi has small, single-gender cabin groups of 8-10 campers and 2 cabin staff, which provides individual attention and positive, small-group dynamics. Program professionals assist in areas like waterfront, arts and crafts, health services, administration and much more. Our kitchen staff prides themselves on creating a well balanced and good tasting menu. A salad bar is provided at both lunch and dinner. Fresh fruit is offered each day. Campers eat family style as a cabin group.

At Camp Warren we believe that a session of camp can make a profound impact on a young person’s life. The Summer of 2010 is shaping up to be another fantastic year. I hope you’ll join us for at least one of our unique single-gender camp sessions.

While at Warren, campers have the opportunity to live independently in a supportive community where they can: meet new friends, try new activities, explore the natural world and gain self-reliance. Activities are designed with skill progression in mind but in a non-competitive atmosphere. For over 80 years, our well trained, energetic staff team (most of whom were once campers themselves) has provided the environment to foster this growth.
